** UPDATE - Starting on page 5, I discuss my "trans-plant" of the Getrag 282 for a new 0 mile F40 six speed trans. **
Well, as some may know, im heading up to the "Chicago" area soon for an engine upgrade. I am going to be installing a LS3/5spd in my 88 coupe.

The car.
I thought i'd start a thread so that I can update it with all the data that I gather over the next few weeks. With any luck, and some good timing, It should be done by this time next month.
So I'll start with a general picture of the LS3 (LS376). Its the "Hot Cam" 480/475 motor.
and I have purchased a 94 Getrag 282 that has been upgraded with a EP-LSD. I know its not the strongest trans out there, but if I take care of it, it should last.
and if it does not, I'll just build another one.
Now I know there are a lot of haters out there, and I know I can't stop you from posting, but i'd rather you leave your negitive comments out of here. I have wanted to do this for over 10 years, and I finally have the means. So i'm doing it. I don't care that you don't like Archie, and I don't care that you don't like V8's, or that the Getrag 282 will not hold up to the power. Yea, I get it.
So on a positive note, check back from time to time, and check the status. There will not be a lot of action this week, but starting next week, I should have some updates.
Cheers.
Rob

Good for you Love V8's I have a 4.9 and have built a LS4 powered Fiero and am currently working on another LS4 into a Murcielogo (sp?) kit car based on a 87 Fiero.
Will follow your build with interest

Cool for sure. I'm sure we'll talk plenty on Saturday too. Unfortunately I won't be able to bring my Fiero to the show, so I probably won't meet up with you guys to drive there and park. But I'll show up sometime to hang out with everyone.
